REVIEWS & RATINGS

I purchased the ivory colorway of this top. I really liked the fit and quality of the lace. However, the collar is a different fabric (jersey) than the main body & they did not do a good job of matching the two colors. The collar has much more of a red cast to it. For the price, I couldn't get over the fact that they didn't match the two fabrics better.

This is one top I would NEVER have bought online just seeing it from photos. However, I tried it on in a store because it just looked so appealing on the hanger - a little old world, maybe a little bohemian, but in a very modern, California cool cut. When I tried it one I was shocked at how flattering it was. I normally shy away from lace because I don't want to seem to prissy or fussy - especially because I work in a corporate environment. However, this top would work just as well under a blazer as it does over a pair of faded jeans. I think it is incredibly versatile and really flattering.
If wearing it for work, I would probably wear a camisole underneath. However, for casual wear or with a cardi over top, I think you could get away with a nude bra.
For reference, I'm 5'4, 126lb, 36" bust - but huge linebacker football shoulders - and took a size 2. I usually find it hard to pay full retail for a top, but I couldn't stop trying this one and came home with me to stay.
